The landscapes in Ferdinand Hodler’s late works have always fascinated me. Their endless expanse into nothingness is painted eternity. In series and variations, he bestowed the beauty of the Swiss mountains and Lake Geneva on his major landscape paintings – they are self-images of Switzerland – expressions of modernism. The magnificent views of mountains and lakes without showing distance are a play between near and far – pictorial visions.
The remarkable thing is that he often used only two colours – yellow and blue.
His massive, marvellous and monumental paintings illuminated by the sun have inspired me to push the limits of my pictures in this work, to simplify them more radically and abstractly – to re-interpret them in striking pop art.
Peter Gartmann
„Meine Eigenart besteht darin, dass ich Monumentalität und Realismus miteinander verbinde. Parallelismus der Formen, Parallelismus der Figuren, Parallelismus ihrer Bewegungen.“
